Okay, I made sure that SlimDX and .NET 3.5 SP1 were installed. Tried running the .NET repair tool but still nothing. Sorry if I'm being a burden.

Let's try this:

1. Download TEXTURES Creator. If it works, then .NET 3.5 is installed properly (because it also uses .NET 3.5).
2. Download SlimXdTest.rar file, attached to this post. It's a very simple .NET 3.5 application, which uses SlimDX. If it also works, then SlimDX is also installed properly and your video card supports shader model 2.0.
3. If both applications work properly... we have a problem, because I have no idea what's causing your crash... Check if "GZBuilder.log" file is present in "C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\Local Settings\Application Data\Doom Builder\" folder. If it is, post it's contents here.

This is kinda daft, but how does one change the default texture and flat that the editor uses when creating new sectors?

Currently you can't do it.
If it's an empty map, (GZ)DB finds textures, which names start with "FLOOR", "CEIL" and "STARTAN" (yep, that's hardcoded) and uses them as floor, ceiling and wall textures of the first sector. If a map already contains sectors, (GZ)DB finds closest linedef and uses textures from it's sidedef and textures and ceiling/floor heights from a sector this linedef is attached to.

I've added ability to override this behaviour in r1693. Now you can choose, which textures to use when a new sector is created using Edit -> "Set Current Textures" action/menu item.

Heh, I thought it was there already and I simply couldn't figure it out, as I remember Doom Builder 1 having such a feature. Never, knew it was removed from DB2.

Thanks. I'll check it out in the latest build when I get a chance.

Both applications do work properly. Here's the contents of the log:

Apparently buildermodes.dll got into the wrong directory somehow. What directory is it supposed to be in?

GZDoom Builder 1.12h startup
Current version of GZDoom Builder is 1.14. Your problem may've been fixed since 1.12h.
Application path: Y:/Desktop/gzbuilder
Is it actually a relocated Windows' Desktop folder, or you just named it "Desktop"? (It's not a good idea to extract programs on desktop, because it may lead to problems).

It's actually supposed to be in Plugins folder. Looks like the file is either damaged or something (antivirus software?) is blocking access to it. Yet again, try updating to 1.14.

1) When adding/editing your own custom textures category:

What exactly is the "show matches" button supposed to do? I type in for example grass and hit the button but nothing happens. If I click "show not matching" THEN only will textures appear (all textures) and I can double click on a texture to add it into my category.

2) Is there a "default preset" for the linedef colors in the linedef colors section of a game config?

3) Thing filters aren't working as expected... all of the default filters (easy medium hard etc) seem to have all the same settings. Is my filter settings screwed?

And a feature request:

Can there be an option that disallows any form of selection or editing for anything outside of the map boundaries? I have the following config:

Code: Select all

leftboundary = -16384;
rightboundary = 16383;
topboundary = 16383;
bottomboundary = -16384;
And outside the boundary is a skybox sector. Sometimes I accidently touch a vertex or something from that skybox sector, and pressing Ctrl Z to undo doesn't really undo it back to its previous position (because it's trying to push the vert beyond the boundaries, I guess)

It's supposed to show matching textures accorfing to provided filters.
Notice that filters use wildcards, so if you enter "grass", it will match only a texture named "GRASS", if it exists. To match textures named "GRASS1", "GRASS2", "GRASS_RED", "GRASS667" you'll need to use "grass*" filter. To match textures named "GRASS1", "GRASS2", but not "GRASS_RED", "GRASS667" you'll need to use "grass?" filter.

If current game configuration has no user-defined linedef color presets, "classic" "show lines with any action as green" preset is added automatically.

Incorrect thing filters were used for maps in UDMF format. I've fixed that in r1695. For this change to work, you'll need to open GZBuilder.cfg and delete thingsfilters { ... } block from your game configuration block. As an example, for "GZDoom: Doom (UDMF)" game configuration, you'll need to delete thingsfilters { ... } block inside gzdoom_doomudmf { ... } block.

Added in r1696. The option is "Don't move selection if any part of it is outside of map boundary" and it's located in Preferences -> Editing.
When this option is enabled, you can still select anything outside of map boundaries, but you won't be able to drag it.
